2022 OFC Women's Nations Cup
The 2022 OFC Women's Nations Cup was the 12th edition of the OFC Women's Nations Cup (also known as the OFC Women's Championship), the quadrennial international football championship organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the women's national teams of the Oceanian region. It was originally scheduled from July to August 2022, but was moved to January and February to accommodate changes to the FIFA Women's International Match Calendar. The OFC announced on 4 March 2021 that it was pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and on 29 April 2022 announced that Fiji would host the tournament from 13 to 30 July.

The tournament served as Oceania's qualifiers to the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. With New Zealand having already qualified automatically for the World Cup as a co-host, they did not participate in the tournament. The winner advanced to the inter-confederation play-offs.
New Zealand were the reigning champions, but they did not participate in the tournament as they were the host of the Women's World Cup and thus did not defend their title. Papua New Guinea won their first OFC Women's Nations Cup title.
